Even d squared sorta, kinda got the point (he's been told enough times that SS is only a subset of the American economy as well as the world economy), but I'm wondering if he's going to be laughing when I point out that Americans investing in privatized SS accounts can very easily buy options from American investors OUTSIDE SS, as well as from foreigners.

Now a nearly total monopoly of so-called privatized enterprises -- taken over by their former directors -- and an electronic press that is completely manipulated by the government are intertwined with the power of a corrupt bureaucracy that has multiplied itself tens of times over and a mafia that threatens the whole world.
